On Saturday January 21st, the Yee Hong Community Wellness Foundation hosted its 34th annual Dragon Ball fundraising gala at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. The Dragon Ball is the most prestigious and largest Chinese New Year Celebration of its kind in North America that celebrated the Year of the Rabbit in 2023. Our President & CEO, Mrs. Helen Ching-Kircher was chosen to be an Honorary Patron of this year’s Dragon Ball given her longstanding support, dedication, and philanthropic efforts for Yee Hong Foundation. We are proud that our sister company Audi Uptown, was a Dragon Sponsor this year along with other top tier supporters.
With over 1,200 guests in attendance this year, a delicious variety of both new and traditional snacks and beverages were served before and after dinner which were accompanied by the high-energy dance performances. Many indulged in the tasty late-night treats after dinner such as shrimp wonton soup and a delicious hot cup of Hong Kong Milk Tea which were both very popular. No Lunar New Year celebration is complete without some traditional Lion and Dragon Dance performances and the Dragon Ball is no different.
On display, we were proud to present a Porsche Taycan 4S in the main concourse of the event, while our sister store Audi Uptown displayed an Audi RS e-tron GT outside the main entrance to the ballroom. Both vehicles adorned a special Lunar New Year graphic design for the occasion.
Happy Lunar New Year and Year of the Rabbit.
